Bechtel announced that Retired U.S. Army Captain Darren Amick, who works for the company’s Oil, Gas and Chemicals business, has received an “Outstanding Contributor of the Year” award from the Society of American Military Engineers. Darren has worked for Bechtel for eight years after a 21-year distinguished career in the U.S. Army. He is currently Bechtel’s general services superintendent at the Baytown Complex in Texas.

Bechtel announced that the company has been awarded a landmark contract on the Sydney Metro project. Noted as Australia’s largest public infrastructure project, when completed, the Sydney Metro project will include new twin rail tunnels under Sydney Harbor.

Reflecting its ongoing commitment to advancing STEM-related opportunities for students, Bechtel sponsored and mentored 17 high school teams to compete in the 2017 FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) World Championships late last month.
